The DAIWA Saltiga SJ 61B-1 is a flagship one-piece slow pitch jigging rod from DAIWA’s premium Saltiga offshore saltwater series, engineered for precise vertical jigging targeting deep-sea pelagic and bottom game fish.

Built with high-strength marine-grade carbon blank, it balances lightweight handling and robust lifting power to fight large saltwater species under deep-water pressure.

This single-piece blank weighs only 98g, eliminating wrist fatigue during all-day vertical jigging sessions on offshore boats.

Its 1.85m total length delivers smooth, slow pitch rod flex to generate natural jig fluttering action without extra arm effort.

It is calibrated for metal jigs ranging from 90g to 150g, perfectly matched with thin PE 0.6–1.5 braided lines for deep water finesse jigging.

The optimized moderate taper transmits subtle bottom hits and light bites clearly, while the rigid mid-rear blank provides enough backbone to pull strong fish away from rocky reef structures.

This variant is marked Sold Out in store; you can check all available models of the full DAIWA Saltiga SJ lineup for alternative jig weight options.
